Silent change, resurgence. Concerns about the safety and reliability of market-distributed products. How to prevent recalls?

We undertake part of the supplier quality management tasks, such as quality verification of OEM products from supplier factory audits and market research to assist in determining the authenticity of market products!

Do you have any concerns about your purchases? - You want to conduct a supplier process audit but lack the resources. - You are using OEM products, but you are worried that 4M changes have been made without your knowledge, resulting in differences from the original specifications. - You are concerned that the products in the market may be counterfeit. - You want to verify the contents of purchased units or parts, but you lack the know-how and equipment, making it difficult to determine if they are genuine. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Are there any issues such as a high number of manufacturing defects or quality complaints from customers? We conduct quality audits of suppliers and manufacturing contractors on behalf of our clients.

On behalf of our clients, we conduct quality audits of parts suppliers and manufacturing contractors. We offer outsourcing of audits tailored to our clients' needs, which includes not only document-related checks and manufacturing process verification but also improvement advice for issues and confirmation of the implementation status of improvement measures.

We will support the creation of a system that achieves product quality leading to customer satisfaction!

We assist in ensuring the quality of your products by reviewing the manufacturing process in response to quality issues such as recalls due to design flaws or component defects, frequent problems in the manufacturing process, and delays in product shipments caused by material procurement issues. This includes detecting issues in the operation of the quality assurance system and its mechanisms, as well as providing support for problem-solving (improvement support). Additionally, we offer educational programs to further strengthen the quality assurance system. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Prevent smoke and fire accidents and short lifespan in advance! We offer safety evaluations for secondary batteries, power supplies, AC adapters, noise tolerance assessments, and characteristic evaluations.

Accidents involving products equipped with lithium-ion batteries, such as mobile batteries, are increasing year by year. There are calls for caution regarding the rise in fire incidents caused by lithium-ion batteries due to high temperatures. Lithium-ion batteries are composed of flammable materials and inherently carry the risk of smoke and fire. As secondary batteries have rapidly proliferated, fire incidents have also been on the rise each year. This is not only due to the harshening of usage environments and mechanisms but also because the risks of smoke and fire have not been fully verified. As a third-party verification of battery units, we assess battery performance through tests different from PSE testing: - Nail penetration test (simulating internal short circuits to assess performance) - Heating limit test (heating to thermal limits to assess performance) - 0V charging prohibition protection (assuming recharging after long-term storage) Do you have any of these concerns? - I recognize that it is dangerous, but I don't know what to do. - I lack experience and know-how in evaluation, and I am anxious about ensuring safety. - I want to determine not only safety but also whether the battery has characteristics suitable for the product. - I want to evaluate the product's durability against high temperatures, drops, and impacts to prevent fire incidents in the market.

In addition to failure analysis, evaluation tests focusing not only on environmental resistance (temperature, humidity, gas, saltwater) but also on mechanical performance, physical performance, and electrical performance were conducted.

It is an electrical component and a mechanical component. Connectors that combine both functions require evaluation tests focusing not only on environmental resistance (temperature, humidity, gas, saltwater) but also on mechanical performance, physical performance, and electrical performance. Eurofins FQL offers product quality evaluations and long-term reliability assessments according to standards. Failure analysis services are also available.

Are you having trouble conducting the necessary standard tests for the sale of new products? We offer testing services for public standards applicable to household and commercial electrical products!

There are many standard tests that are recommended to verify products for sale. For example: - JIS standards (JIS C 60335-1 Safety of household electrical appliances, etc.) - IEC standards (IEC 61960 Batteries for portable devices, etc.) - UL standards (UL 1642 Lithium batteries, etc.) and so on. We undertake public standards applicable to household and commercial electrical products. ■ Do you have any of these concerns? ■ - I want to conduct standard tests on developed or purchased products, but I do not own testing equipment. - A business partner has requested the implementation of standard tests, but I have no experience. - I cannot determine whether the test results from the supplier are appropriate.

We want to prevent smoke and fire accidents and short lifespan! We offer safety evaluation of batteries, safety evaluation testing of power supplies and AC adapters, noise tolerance evaluation, and characteristic evaluation.

■Safety Evaluation, Lifespan Testing, and Characteristic Evaluation of Battery Units Lithium-ion batteries are composed of flammable materials and inherently carry the risk of smoke and fire. With the rapid proliferation of secondary batteries, fire incidents have been increasing year by year. This is partly due to the insufficient verification of smoke and fire risks. - Not all batteries are subject to PSE (Product Safety Electrical) regulations. - PSE certification tests do not fully verify safety. - Necessary protections may not be included. As a third-party verification of battery units, we assess the battery's capabilities through tests different from PSE testing: - Nail penetration test (simulating internal short circuit to assess capabilities) - Heating limit test (heating to thermal limits to assess capabilities) - 0V charging prohibition protection (assuming recharging after long-term storage) ■Power Supply Unit and AC Adapter Evaluation / Failure Analysis - Safety evaluation of power circuits, wireless power transmission, and USB PD (Power Delivery). - Conducting various noise injection tests to verify noise tolerance and characteristic evaluation in line with power supply specifications. - Evaluation of power supply devices such as power supply units, AC adapters, UPS, and DC-DC converters, including evaluation of the built-in power circuits and verification of power failures.

At construction sites, temporary parking lots may be established for workers and construction-related vehicles. On unpaved ground, mud and ruts can easily occur due to rain, which may hinder vehicle access. Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering materials that utilize wood CLT. By laying them in temporary parking lots, a suitable environment for vehicle passage and parking can be created while protecting the ground. They can be laid only in the necessary areas, and after the construction is completed, they can be removed and repurposed for temporary roads or access routes. The 5×10 panels weigh approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panels weigh about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, allowing for changes in parking space. Additionally, they offer benefits unique to wood, such as glare reduction, noise reduction, and CO2 fixation. They are registered as a technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS as "TH-250021-A," and can be utilized for the development of temporary parking lots and innovative public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
